Tink, you are loved here.

my big announcement for the day is....

2:03 am sunday and the dining room table has not been cleared
not a thing on it but two cats sleeping on it.

[schumigirl]

Awwww Vicki.....he must have felt awful!! Glad Danielle made up for it though.........hope it was a nice day.......

Yay.....Mac has made a dent in her dining room......and it's only August 2nd........

Janet......glad you enjoyed the movie.......and date night......



Very lazy day today......well apart from cleaning three bathrooms, kitchen, utility room and ironing. Have been craving a donut all day today! Fruit is just not the same.

Pulled pork again for dinner tonight........watching an old black and white movie........nice lazy Sunday

Beautiful Sunday morning. Hubby and I are going out for lunch at Mexican restaurant. Food is very good there.

Have been reading some of the threads on HHN. Have never been. I am thinking I should go. I love to decorate for Halloween. Next to Christmas it's my favorite. I add something new each year. Every year I put a small graveyard scene in the flower bed in front of my house. Added a new Holloween tree last year. If I could figure out how to get pictures on. I could put you all in the Halloween spirit for your upcoming trips.

robo, do a google and pull up past years hhn so you get an idea of crowds, houses, set up, etc.
if you like what you see in past hhn nights, try to go this year as it's the 25th anniversary.

i've been going to it since 1999.
some years have better icons and set up than others.
i continually go annually for this hard ticket event and can't see myself stopping now.

when my boys were little, i would get old white sheets, stuff the middle section full of newspapers to make it look like a head.
hung those sheets from the apple tree branches and it looked like a ghost flying in the wind....
it was a hit with the neighbors and trick and treaters.

apple trees cut down so no more ghost decorations anymore...


glad you mentioned mexican.
we haven't hit it this week and i think that is where we will eat tonight.....

when mr mac goes out of town, son and i eat dinner out each night.
our party ends tomorrow and then back to cooking at home.

bluer should be returning back home today.
hope he checks in and tells us about this weekends trip to the darkside.

Mac, Ghost in tree idea sounds great.

Lunch was nice.

Love haunted houses. So I know I would have a blast at HHN. Will keep it on the possibility list this year.

Our local haunted houses are very good here. We have a very well known haunted house designer locally that sells his masks and haunted house things all over the world. Don't know him personally.

We have a very old Courthouse in the middle of downtown and every year for the past few years they have been putting a haunted house in the very large tunneled, creepy basement. It's impressive.

A couple of years ago my niece and I went. She was in front of me and I kept feeling this tugging on my sweatshirt behind me. When I finally was able to see enough. It was a teenage boy that had latched onto my shirt and would not let go. He was so frightened I thought he was going to cry. I had to convince him to let go of my sweatshirt and tell his friends to take him out of the haunted house. I felt sorry for him. I bet his friends never let him forget it.

I am sure you could tell a few story's on your experience at HHN over the years.

Ok, humor needed, little one will be 14 soon, and could make a sailor blush with her foul mouth. Girls. Teenage ones. My DS has not been as hard. Gray hair already.

Hot and humid, so all are lounging in the AC. Cleaning the family room has been a chore. Made the kids claim which wire goes to what and what can be disconnected. So tech savvy these kids are.

Glad to hear Vicki's bday was not a bust. Hope the presents were good.

Have fun in Erie, Kiesha! Should be great weather the next couple of days. Been over 20 years since I swam in Lake Erie in Erie. Bet a lot has changed.

Mac, hope all is well with you and the mending DS is well too.

Schumi, always lush food for dinner.

Mexican food, yum. Glad to hear food was good.

Wish I was in the pool right now.

Have a great day Y'all

 

[schumigirl]

Robo.......glad you enjoyed your lunch out. Not a fan of Mexican food.......I did like fajitas but I can't eat onions now and not overly fond of peppers so not really worth it for me now. Do love guacamole and sour cream though

Halloween is not the huge event over here it is the States.......wish it was though.



Nearly bedtime for me here........one late night and I'm whooped!! And I had two........we sat and watched The Mummy earlier........such a good movie!!

Feel like having a milky hot chocolate........

Hi all!

Got back from FL this morning. Beat after the 19 hour drive but we actually made really good time.

Had a great time, but boy was it hot! (what can I expect in FL in July)....but it was actually hotter and more humid here in NY when we were away. We had a great time though. I will try and post some pics of the little guy later....he had a ball.

Hope all is well and happy belated to those who had birthdays!

 

[schumigirl]

KFish........glad you had such a blast in Orlando. I spoke to my cousins in LI at the weekend and they mentioned how hot it was there too.......hot!! That's why we will visit NY May/June again next year. Look forward to seeing pictures of your boy.........



Looks a beautiful day out today.........very disturbed sleep.....and I actually had a nightmare. Poor DH awoke to find me screaming in terror at something ......I usually remember my dreams as I dream a lot.....but can't recall this one. Took ages to get back over.

Anyway, DS has dentist appointment for check up today....so he told me to come along with him and he'll buy me lunch today........Subway again....... Well, it's the thought that counts!

Happy Monday........

 

[Bluer101]

Tink, happy belated bday to you.

Well Monday morning is here and back to the grind. The weather in Orlando was overcast with rain. We did a few rides in US when we got there then headed back to PBH as the rain came in. After it let up a little we put on our sandals and grabbed the umbrellas and did IOA in the light rain. Had dinner and enjoyed CW. Got up ate breakfast at PBH buffet chilled out and drove home. Nice short get a way for the weekend again.

Even a rainy day at Universal is a good day.

Yey Monday... *sigh*

I ache all over today

 

[schumigirl]

Love it!!!!!!

Hope you had a good visit........was weather as bad as lots of people are saying? My friends who are there just now tweeted this morning........." 5 days of solid rain "


Hot here today......yay

BBQ for dinner..........

 

[macraven]

i love pictures !


i didn't come back here last night to turn off the lights.
we had a tornado touch down in our area, no damage to property, and lost all power.

ended up falling asleep on the couch waiting for the internet to come back on...........lol

woke up after midnight and still no power so went to bed.

everything back to normal when i woke up.

i even woke up being normal.....

 

[schumigirl]

Well....I did wonder this morning.....

Having no power sucks..........but waking up normal is always good

 

[Lynne G]

Glad to hear you were ok Mac. Power was out 150 houses, yesterday. Darn wind and trees.

Kfish, glad to hear you are back safe and sound, and had a good vacation. Pictures of little Christopher, yes, please. Glad to hear the rain didn't spoil the whole vacation.

Have a good day/night all!

 

[macraven]

we were fine but the town over from us had the tornado hit them.
they are still out of power and some streets are still full of debris and trees.
we lost power or i would have been posting yesterday evening up to the time the dis shuts down at 3 am...
minor inconvience than what the other town went through.


kfish, time to show the pictures of our kid..........
i think one of us named him..

 

[schumigirl]

Tuesday again..........

Put two crock pots on last night before I went to bed with pork in each of them.....the joint was too big for one......I have a really large slow cooker and a normal size one....so between the two they fitted. Could smell spicy pork and brown sugar melting at 3am!! Just been down to switch them off and let them cool. Will shred them down later, add BBQ sauce and freeze them today. Will get loads out of them!!

Quiet day today.......looks a nice one. May do a little gardening if sun stays out and warm.

Have a good one.........

Yep, it's been that bad. And we're not even in Tampa where the worst of it was. I think we are just enough west of the parks though that we got significantly more rain than they did even a half hour or so away. Saw this pic on a different group which seemed to summarize it nicely:
